Cosmic Photo prompt.

Hi there, I hope your Friday is going well, here’s this week’s prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s theme is based on the very simple idea of me asking you to; Take a hike.

No, I’m not rudely throwing you out of the challenge, I’m just inviting you to get out in the fresh air, go for a stroll and capture the scenery for us.

Have a great weekend, enjoy the exercise and we’ll all meet back here on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Say hello to Summer.

Hello everybody, it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to pay its respects to the new season as we; Say hello to Summer.

And what better way to usher in the sunshine months, than a visit to the seaside?

I took a drive out to Combe Martin at the weekend and captured some beach scenes to match the scorching weather.

How did you welcome in the new season..?

Good afternoon, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge Friday prompt, once again setting your weekend homework.

As tomorrow is the solstice which marks the end of Spring, I think we should; Say hello to Summer.

Feel free to interpret that however you like and I’ll see you on Monday for our weekly show and tell.

Have a great weekend, enjoy the sunshine.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: North, South, East and West

Good morning everyone, welcome to another Monday’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today looks; North, South, East and West.

I found myself at Party In The Park at the weekend, a free community event in the village of Swimbridge, just outside Barnstaple. There was live music all day, a BBQ, a bar tent, plenty of stalls and fun for the kids, and a great time was had by all.

I took all my pictures there, with a bonus panorama, which nearly covers all four points of the compass.

North
East
South
West

Now let’s have a look at your multi-directional offerings…

Friday already, hooray, meaning it’s time for your prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week I think we’ll have another round of a previous theme; North, South, East and West.

So for Monday’s post, I’d like four separate photos, one taken facing in (roughly) each direction. They don’t all have to be taken from the same spot, or even at the same time, as long as they cover the four points of the compass.

Have a great weekend, see you soon.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Bridges.

Good morning, happy snappers, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today takes as its inspiration; Bridges.

I have to admit, I’m spoilt for choice with bridges around here and I’ve photographed many of them before; but yesterday I realised there was at least one I hadn’t captured yet.

On the main road into Barnstaple, a new junction has recently been built, complete with a “bridge to nowhere” as it’s locally known, which will eventually service an upcoming housing development.

The hugely convoluted (and not unimpressive) steel construction isn’t in use yet, but when I arrived there were no workmen about and there wasn’t actually a sign saying you couldn’t use it…

A bit further down the road, there’s an old concrete flyover which carries one of the many country lanes that crisscross the main A361. On this particular lane I discovered a gate which allowed me to capture it from an unusual angle.

I found you can get some interesting panoramic shots on a bridge, too.

Now let’s see what you have for us this week…

Hello there, it’s time for me to give you your weekly mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, should you decide to accept it.

I think we’ll make it nice and simple today, so all you have to do is seek out; Bridges.

That’s it, it’s as easy as that, show us some expansive spans for Monday’s post, see you all again soon.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Art for art’s sake.

Good morning, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is getting all artistic, with the prompt; Art for art’s sake.

I have once again gone for a collage piece, throwing an impromptu festival in my garden at the weekend.

Behold; “CosPhoChalstock”

What inspired creations do you have to share with us..?

Congratulations, you made it to the end of another week, so you may now claim your prize: A new prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge!

I think it’s about time we let our collective creative inspiration take centre stage once again, so for Monday’s post I’d like to see some more; Art for art’s sake.

For anyone who is new to the challenge, this is just an excuse to muck about with photography a little more than usual, to create something which may be more than the sum of its parts.

So you can use collages, long exposures, composite images, mosaics, editing effects, anything is fair game as long as the original photos are your own. Or you could just photograph some art made by someone else, the choice is yours.

I look forward to seeing what fabulous pictures you come up with, have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Wild flowers.

Good morning, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I hope your weekend went well and, if you’re in the UK, I hope you’re enjoying the extra day off.

This week we’re turning our camera eyes to the fields and meadows, where we’ve been searching for; Wild flowers.

I took a sunny stroll around the Millennium Green in Rotherfield, East Sussex, where it was difficult to find somewhere that wasn’t covered in drifts of colour.

What blooming lovely delights did you find for us..?
